How we handle worktop repair in Braystones
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you are dealing with chips near the sink and chips on edges and corners, we can typically put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Braystones questions
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Braystones?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Braystones for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
